With E bay listings you also have to pay attention to the phrase "for parts or repair "  That may be their way out of refunds .  Needs cleaning and oil ,or work as it should is a different story .

This is an "EG" model, which dates first production to 1964.

Somewhere, strangely enough, if I recall correctly (might be wrong though) the NL-2 designation on the badge means it was sold with "No line", and (2) empty spools.

I'll pull out one of my old Herter's catalogs.  Might be something in there to explain better.

Fred has very graciously solved you problem but for future reference why not drill and tap another hole in the main gear.

Yes it could be done .  Most are not set up with  left hand screw extractors , " blind hole to boot "
Left hand tap , than to find the screw part .   Can you do it with right hand tools and screw ,I believe yes .   Is it worth the trouble with so many parts still laying around .

That's a shame, and I've received several reels with undisclosed damage. I figure it's not worth the time and effort to chase a refund I just turn 'em into parts reels or steal parts off of one of my existing parts reels and cobble something together.

David,
Agree about chasing the refund. Taking it as a learning moment. And will send the damaged gear to anyone with more skill, as well as the proper tools, if they want it. Russ

EF with a Shakespeare is 1965. F = 5.
Kinda stupid to put a badge on it with NL.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Fred,

Right, Tom —-

I realized that afterwards, but didn't figure it would be a problem, or you would mind, so I left my post up.

Guess I was wrong...

I don't always read every post in a thread, and sometimes miss some.

My apologies.

Sure as heck not a problem, Fred, I just figured you might have missed it. Plus, no reason to dig around and pull out your old Herter's catalog.
